found as part of the stack saved from an engineers estate: Tandem
Computers cartridge tapes and docs
Cartridges are appox 4x4x1 and the tape appears to be half inch.
Some are in boxes marked "Cartridge Tape CT-130" All have labels
indicated they are Tandem Computers "Site Update Tapes" with 1988,
89, and 90 dates. Cursory google produced nothing. Secondary
label on one cartridge would seem to indicate they are used for
software distribution.
I have seven of the cartridges along with several Tandem Non-Stop
manuals. Manuals have been scanned.
Anyone interested? Free for shipping from 95006 (call it 5lbs wt)

Hmmm, they just has a Tandem Computers reunion in the Bay area last
month, with over 400 attendees!
If you aren't in touch with anybody from Tandem, I could mention
this to my friend who used to work for them.
He used to have a Non-Stop I in his basement. He built it from
cast-off boards, some of them blank so he had to stuff them with
chips.

feel free to inquire for me!
I'm a former Tandem Product Manager (of Operating Systems). BTW: Went
to the Re-union ;)
Pictures of the tapes would be helpful. When I get them (or a link to
them) - I'll post it to the Tandem Alumni group to see if anyone can
identify and/or use them.
Cheers,
Lyle
will do!
